Anniversary, birth and death

Well our new site - Fresh Flowers and Gifts - has been live for just under a week. We have been catalogued by Google and pages are starting to rank.

We have had a number of customers now, even a lady from The Isle of Skye in the UK.

Things are a little different talking to these people. Rental Agreements DIY Australia clients are fairly unemotional as they are just looking to get a residential or commercial lease or some other legal document.

But people buying flowers - well that's a different story entirely.

When people send flowers to someone it is all about emotion.

We had Richard send his wife a bunch of roses. She was in the maternity ward with their brand new freshly hatched one day old baby. He wanted the flowers to arrive before he did so his beautiful wife and baby would know he was thinking of them. He was bubbly and excited. It was a joy to speak with him. He left me with a good feeling all afternoon. When I told my wife about it she got all clucky.

Then Cathy from the UK wanted to send her brother and sister in law a flower bouquet to celebrate their wedding anniversary. We got chatting and it was just a little sad as Cathy had been in the UK for a while and had not seen her brother for a few years. Talking to her made me think about my brother and how I tend to take him for granted.

Then there was Ultima. Her brother in law had just died. You could just hear the pain she was feeling for her widowed sister. She wanted to give her a big hug but they were on opposite sides of the world. She was very specific in the colour and arrangement of the flowers to be delivered. She was pouring her emotions into those flowers and sending them across the world.

My thoughts went to those close friends and relative I have lost over the years.

I have been involved in sales for years. Sales people are told to try to put emotion into their sales presentations. The idea is to get someone emotionally involved in the product you are selling. So you work hard to get people excited about your particular widget. However, I have never been involved in products where there is real emotion. I can try to bring in emotion with ideas about security for your family into my legal document products but it is drawing a long bow, isn't it.

Selling flowers has nothing to do with plants and foliage and wrapping paper. It's about the transfer of feelings from sender to receiver.

It has been an interesting and emotional first week.

There are many who would be surprised I have a heart at all. I suppose it surprises me a bit too.

Assignment of Lease Agreement Contract

Old Herb and a pile of dollars

I had a call from Herb a few nights ago. He had that great sounding Queensland country drawl.

Herb is 73 years old. He was ringing about our Commercial Property Lease Agreement. He had sold his business as a going concern and kept the property to get the continuing income from the rent. I imagine this is a retirement strategy for many small business owners.

It was fairly late Saturday evening when he rang. He said, "I didn't think anyone would be there".

Old Herb started to tell me about how he has just sold his business and let the people move in without organising a lease agreement for the premises. He wasn't concerned about it but the buyers of the business, quite rightly, wanted an agreement in place.

The new owners of the business need to be severely scolded for taking such a huge risk. Their enthusiasm to get started on their business empire has left them extremely vulnerable.

What if old Herb got lucky last night?

He is probably sitting on a nice pile of cash from the business. The word would have gone round the local Country Women's Association that Herb suddenly looks better than he has for years. It is highly likely Herb is being targeted by a bevy of blue-rinse sirens. That sound you hear is fan forced ovens pumping out pumpkin scones and lamingtons. Herb could be in for an exhausting couple of months.

He already told me he had heart palpitations when his solicitor told him it would be around $900 to draw up a commercial lease.

If Herb dies with a smile on his face before the lease is organised, the new business owners could be in all sorts of trouble. Whoever inherits may want to bulldoze the property and being Queensland, will probably put in a canal development.

If the business is successful because of its location, that may be the end of things. Sure they can getting involved in legal action but what a waste of energy.

The purchaser of the business should have looked at our Sale of Business Kit before handing over any money to Herb. Just by looking at the page and seeing the list of contracts included in the kit you get an overview of what to be aware of and some questions to ask the seller.

A Sale of Business Agreement is rarely the only document you will need.

Here is a list of the other document templates included in the Sale of Business Kit.

Secured Loan Agreement
Confidentiality Non-Disclosure Agreement for Sale of Business
Assignment of Lease Agreement
Commercial Property Lease Agreement
Commercial Property Sublease Agreement
Business Lease Agreement
Option to Purchase Real Estate Agreement
Partnership Dissolution Agreement
Sale of Partnership Interest Agreement
Consultancy Agreement
General Partnership Agreement

So I wish Herb luck in his retirement. We have all heard that young bull, old bull joke. I hope Herb has a bit of old bull in him.

Are some tenants too much hard work?

You may have seen my page on Tenancy Laws in Australia. It summarises the various rules relating to residential tenancy. It has become a very popular page on the Rental Agreements DIY Australia website.

Both landlords and tenants use the page for reference and occasionally ring or email me with some kind of query relating to their rental situation. We are not legal advisors so I refer them to the relevant state or territory authority. Some want to tell me their story anyway, just to vent about their problems.

I got my first abusive email in a year last night. The complaint was about me saying "Sometimes you just want the current tenant out because they are too much hard work." The person, a tenant with some landlord repair issues, let me have it. He suggested I was immoral for putting that text on my webpage. He said it impacted him because landlords can kick tenants out for complaining. He certainly took what I said personally.

The offending quote is from our Ending a Residential Tenancy page. It gives some information about ending Australian tenancies and there is a little bit of practical advice for landlords about the process.

He must be a fine judge of character as all the descriptive terms he used for me I have heard often before. In fact, if he needs some support I can give him a list of people who will agree with him. For the record my parents were married.

Had a chat with my darling wife to tell her I had been abused. She gave me a hug and a pat on the head to make me feel better.

We then started to reminisce about some of the more memorable tenants we have had over the years. It did not take us long to reinforce the statement that some tenants ARE definitely too much hard work. Read our "Killer Door Death Squadron" article for one example of too much hard work. Thankfully there were not too many stories like this. Most of our tenants have been great.

We have a few pages to help landlords have a fruitful relationship with tenants.
Finding the right tenant
Beginning a tenancy
Settling tenancy disputes
Ending a tenancy

The Sydney Morning Herald reviewed our website and said about these pages - "Here's something for the first time property investor; a sometimes funny guide to the legalities of becoming a landlord and other issues associated with renting out properties."

We also have a free tenancy application form in word and pdf format. Download it now for free.

Rental increases for Australian Residential Property

We have been getting a lot of questions lately about rent increases from both landlords and tenants. I suppose it is a sign of the times.

Just for you we have compiled a summary of rental increase rules for each state and territory in Australia. This information has been obtained by visiting each state govt website responsible for residential tenancy. I can't begin to tell you how exciting that was. My mind went numb by the time I had visited the 3rd one so we cannot guarantee the accuracy of the information. That is just a way to throw in a disclaimer as we did double check things.

You will find this rental increase information plus rules relating to security deposits (the bond), advance rent and ending a tenancy on our Tenancy Laws in Australia page.

Rental Increases

South Australia, Tasmania, Victoria, Western Australia
Ability to increase rent during tenancy only if specified in tenancy agreement.
No sooner than 6 months from start of tenancy or date of last increase.
60 days notice of increase

Australian Capital Territory
Not in first 12 months then only once per year for existing tenant.
8 weeks notice.

New South Wales
Ability to increase rent during tenancy only if specified in tenancy agreement.
No increase during fixed term.
60 days notice outside of fixed term.

Northern Territory
Ability to increase rent during tenancy only if specified in tenancy agreement.
No sooner than 6 months from start of tenancy or date of last increase.
30 days notice of increase

Queensland
Ability to increase rent during tenancy only if specified in tenancy agreement.
1 month notice.

If you are stimulated by the thought of fossicking through your state govt sites you will find each link under "Useful guides" a little way down the following page.

Living together relationship agreements

It is very cold in Sydney this morning. I am thankful I am in a relationship with many benefits including someone to snuggle up to on cold winter nights like spoons in a kitchen draw.

My slave wife and I have been together forever. If I ever unchain her from the sink she might realise I was not the best catch. Thankfully the locks are industrial strength.

We both came into this relationship with nothing more than love and lust. Over the years we have added children, grandchildren and property.

If she woke up to herself and traded up to a newer model she would be wise to protect her assets from the next man pig she meets. Whether she marries or just lives with someone she should have a cohabitation agreement in place to ensure her property, jewellery, family heirlooms and other assets are protected.

And I will be looking for a new bed warmer as well. It is appropriate I get some new trophy wife. There is nothing more proper than an aged gentleman parading his barely post pubescent woman to his mates.

My wife assures me I would be lucky to get my fishing rod and reel in the event of a breakup. I do love that reel. So I also would want to protect this highly prized asset from the hands of the new and many women in my life.

Rental Agreements DIY Australia has 3 separate relationship contracts to protect your interests. They are: -

Cohabitation Agreement - for people in a de facto relationships
Cohabitation Agreement Same Sex - for gay and lesbian relationships
Prenuptial Agreement - for couples intending to marry. (often incorrectly referred to as prenuptual)

My wife just came in and read this article over my shoulder. She says I am not getting the reel. I think I have a handline somewhere in the shed.

Tenancy laws in Australia

It has been a while since I posted to this blog. Have you missed me?

My Rental Agreements DIY Australia site just keeps going from strength to strength.

Our "Tenancy Laws in Australia" page is being dicussed in a number of forums.

This page gives an overview of rental bond rules, advance rent and ending the tenancy for each state and territory in Australia.

It is a pretty good page. I haven't seen another like it although I would be surprised if I was the only one.

To ensure some level of accuracy I went to each state body and read their various tenancy booklets. I can't begin to tell you how exciting that was.

Most were reasonably straight forward but the Victorian rules for ending a tenancy were all over the place.

As I am a New South Welshman I suppose Victorians might say that shows the low level of intellect from across the border. But the truth is we like it simple in NSW so we can get things sorted and head off to the beach.

The page must have some impact because people are ringing me fairly regularly for advice. Both landlords and tenants ring me to ask about answers to their rental problems. I politely refer them to the correct state authority so they can enjoy a chat with the government. Always a joy

Of course, I cannot give them any advice. I am but a humble distributor of superbly crafted legal documents and a purveyor of Landlord insurance and residential investment property insurance.

Here are a few ways to describe landlord's insurance.
Landlord Insurance for Australian property
Landlord's Insurance, building insurance, contents insurance, loss of rent insurance, rent default insurance, theft by tenants insurance, strata title insurance, workers compensation insurance, rebuilding insurance, liability cover insurance, mortgagee discharge insurance are all part of landlord insurance policies.

Agreements between Tenants in Common

What is a Tenant in common?

If you purchase real estate with other people most often the co-ownership is as Tenants in Common. Another common arrangement is as Joint Tenants. The main difference between Joint Tenants and Tenants in Common is transfer of ownership if one of the parties dies. In Joint Tenancy arrangements the share transfers to the remaining owners. Agreements between Tenants in Common will usually say co-owners have the exclusive right to determine how their share will be passed on.

Search Engine Optimisation made easy

Why Rental Agreements DIY ranks well in Google, MSN and Yahoo

It is highly likely you will arrive at our Rental Agreements DIY website through a search engine. The odds are very high it was via Google. 93% of our traffic is from search engines and Google is better than ten to one compared to all other search engines combined. We are on page one or two of Google search results for most of our targeted keywords and phrases.

Our search engine ranking is not luck. This website has been specifically designed for search engine success.

What I know and why I know it

Let's start with why I know about search engines and websites.

My name is Luke Scully. I have been deeply involved in all things internet since 1995. Since 1997 I have owned and operated web hosting and web design businesses. Over this time I have been associated with thousands of websites. Some of the sites I have worked with are National Rugby League (NRL), Australian Rugby League (ARL), St George Illawarra Dragons, Parramatta Eels, Manly Sea Eagles, North Sydney Council, Woollahra Council, Ken Done, Sass and Bide, Collette Dinnigan, Bourke's Backyard, The Getaway Show, W H Soul Pattinson, Riviera Marine, Johnnie Walker plus lots and lots of big and small websites.

It is hard to say this without it sounding like I am blowing my own trumpet, but I am a trumpet blower from way back. I would be one of the most experienced people in Australia when it come to internet related issues. I am technically competent and commercially aware. For over a decade I have had a privileged, insider's perspective on the success or failure of many, many online ventures. I have spent countless hours analysing client web statistics. I have a good handle on why some sites achieve and maintain search engine success and some don't.

Lessons Learned or why is this website so ugly?

In 1997 when I started my first internet business we had an office, a phone, a desk, a computer, not much money and a broom. I suppose I said we in the royal sense as there was only one person working in the company - me. I built our first website. As you can see by this site I am no graphic designer. The site was fairly plain and offered a range of internet services. It was easy back then to get high rankings in Yahoo, Altavista, Excite and others. Google didn't exist. Web hosting customers from all over the world found our site. We had a travel agent in Nepal, a rug merchant in Italy and a growing band of customers from Australia.

With some success behind us we hired staff. Our new graphic designer was embarrassed by our corporate website. He pushed for a redesign. Soon after we launched our slick, new, state of the art website and almost instantly our online enquiries stopped. We had lost our dominant search engine ranking. Ouch. Most graphic designers know very little about search engines and technical website design.

The Rental Agreements DIY website was designed to maximise our chance of search engine success. The site was initially created text only. The plan was to submit it to search engines and while waiting to get catalogued, add some graphics and make the site more presentable. Well it took off like a rocket. We were catalogued in Google in 3 days. In 7 days we were coming up on the first or second page of search results for lots of keywords. Lots of targeted visitors, lots of customers - the formula for a successful online business. So as they say - If it ain't broke don't fix it. We have made very few changes since the site launched. Just adding a logo was a big decision.

Can you do what I do?

Search engine success is broadly based on two things.

1. Text
   Search engines catalogue text. You need pages with keyword rich, well constructed prose. The more pages, the better.
2. Links
   You need other websites to link to you. The more relevant the site, the better.

Simple isn't it.

Well the concept is simple enough but the practical application can be daunting for many.

If you listen to someone who really knows what they are talking about you can save years of search engine trial and error.

Brad Cullen has one of the most comprehensive free books on search engine success. It is called " Search Engine Optimization Made Easy." It is a step by step practical guide to creating a search engine friendly website and gaining high search engine ranking. I have given this report to many of my clients and I recommend you take advantage of this free offer.

Typos are evil

I have been wondering why my new Tasmanian Residential Tenancy Agreement has taken a while to get catalogued considering the alacrity for ranking of other pages.

I am embarrassed to say I found I had a typo in the word tenancy in the link to the page. Not sure if that is the cause but it has been fixed. Let's see what happens.

A big jump in traffic

There was a major jump in traffic on Monday. I looked around the stats trying to find a reason. Then a friend called me and told me the Rental Agreements site http://www.rentalagreementsdiy.com.au/
was in the weekly TV guide liftout in Monday's Sydney Morning Herald.

It was headed "Lease on Life"
"Here's something for the first time property investor; a sometimes funny guide to the legalities of becoming a landlord and other issues associated with renting out properties."

I couldn't have said it better myself.

My US attorney is sorting that out for me

Does that sound cool?

My US attorney is sorting things out for me.

We are getting closer to our USA launch. We have just appointed a lawyer to review and improve our rental agreement contracts for the US market. We are getting just a little excited now.

We just keep getting more and more visitors to our Australian site. Both Yahoo and MSN have kicked in now. Combined they are nowhere near google but it has boosted our daily averages all the same.

Save money with a sigh

We bought a stove on the weekend for one of our properties. We went to a superstore thing where there were three electrical goods retailers in the one complex.

The first retailer had a price of $799 plus delivery of $50. We asked for their best price. They reduced it by $20. The second retailer had a price of $780 plus $50 delivery. We interrupted the salesman surfing the web. He grunted when we started asking questions so we just left.

The third had a price of $790 plus $40 delivery. It was now time to play.

My wife and I play good guy, bad guy when we buy things. It is not something we plan. She is very attractive with a friendly manner. I am fat, bald and ugly with too much sarcasm and cynicism. So the roles come naturally to us.

Want to get a discount off your purchases? Learn how to sigh and groan.

The salesman told us his price. $790 plus $40 delivery. I sighed. Nothing else. No words, no argument - just a sigh. He dropped the price by $20.

I then groaned. He offered free delivery. A sigh and a groan got me a $60 discount.

I then said "you are making me bleed" and started to look like I was walking away.

The final price was $740 including delivery. The total negotiation took 3 or 4 minutes. Not sure what your hourly rate is but to save $90 in after tax money in 3 or 4 minutes equates to a fantastic saving.

Lots of people are embarrassed to ask for discounts. It makes them feel cheap I guess. Who knows why. I have been involved in sales all my life. It always amazes me how few people try to negotiate price. They are giving away money needlessly. What have you got to lose?

Does a logo make me look more professional?

I have added a logo to my website http://www.rentalagreementsdiy.com.au/

I reluctantly put it at the top. I would have preferred text to stay there. It used to have the words Rental Agreements DiY with a h1 tag.

Again I am nervous as to what this change might do to my rankings. Things are getting better in all search engines. I am ranking higher and higher in google. I come up first in a variety of searches and on the front page for lots more.

I have also just booked a 4 day web marketing seminar in March. It sounds interesting. I will let you know what happens.

Rental Agreements diary

I started this blog simply to promote my Residential and Commercial Tenancy Rental Lease Agreements Landlords Kits. You can find these kits at http://www.rentalagreementsdiy.com.au/

My intention originally was to put in some kind of article each day discussing different aspects of private property management.

But how much can I really say without repeating myself. And does anyone really care. So this has turned into more of a diary of the beginning of a new site. I am discussing various aspects of search engine optimisation and the successes and failures of the site.

It is Saturday morning and I need to get up from this computer and go and enjoy the day. Have a good weekend.

It won't heal if you keep picking at it

Had a play with the site today. Not sure what will happen. I ramped it up with a few little changes and added some keywords. I am now wondering if I am going to hurt my rankings rather than enhance them. I will stop now and see the result in a few days I hope.

I added the following links at the bottom of my pages.

Residential Tenancy Agreement New South Wales (NSW)

Residential Tenancy Agreement Northern Territory (NT)

General Tenancy Agreement Queensland (QLD)

Residential Tenancy Agreement South Australia (SA)

Residential Tenancy Agreement Victoria (Vic)

Residential Tenancy Agreement Western Australia (WA)

Commercial Property Tenancy Lease Agreement Contract Australia

Legal Documents, Legal Forms & Legal Agreements

I wonder how far is too far in terms of keyword repetition.

Today Australia. Tomorrow the World

So all has been a raging success with my Australian website helping landlords with rental tenancy agreements. There has been considerable interest in our Commercial Property Lease agreements. http://www.rentalagreementsdiy.com.au/

The web is a beautiful thing.

Analysis of our web logs show we are increasing traffic daily. A reasonable proportion of our traffic is from outside Australia. Understanding web stats is a mixture of art and science. If you begin from the concept that you should not believe the numbers then you will be on your way to getting full value from your analysis. If you doubt me, run your web logs through a few different stats systems. Look at your google analytics. None of them will be the same. Who can tell which one is right? So ignore the actual numbers.

Just because the logs say traffic originated from a particular country does not mean it is true. Web logs need to be viewed more from a ratio and comparison point of view. You need to look at trends over time to get anything meaningful out of it.

Even discounting the inaccuracy of logs we can see people from a range of countries outside Australia are visiting our site.

Let's be quite clear here. They are not visiting for entertainment. Except for various witty (some may say sad) remarks scattered throughout the site, there is no fun here.

People are here for a purpose. They have a need to satisfy. They have some problem that compels them to look at my dry information site instead of visiting bikini babe sites as they should.

So being a kind soul I would like to help them satisfy their needs. Watch out as we take over the world.

Should throw a keyword or two in here as I am probably still talking to myself.

I know my friends the bots are listening. Come to me google bot. Caress me with your ones and zeros. Hello again Yahoo you old dog. You would be getting on a bit now. Still slurping I see. Hi Msnbot. I see you visiting but I don't see much action from you. You're like an unemployed friend that keeps dropping by and eating my food without ever remembering to bring a cake.

Search Engine Seduction

Wow. Yesterday I sang a song of love to search engines and today that article is catalogued and ranked highly on a variety of key words.

Who would have thought a few kind words melodiously melded would have such an immediate effect.

So I better drop a few more keywords in this article.

Commercial Property Lease agreements, commercial property rental contract, commercial lease agreements.

http://www.rentalagreementsdiy.com.au/

Let's see what happens with this. Stay tuned.

Feed the blog meat

So back to work today. All the gurus say I need to keep feeding my blog meaty chunks of information. I am finding it tedious already.

I have not checked if any humans are interested in what I have to say on this blog. If you are human and looking for Australian tenancy agreements for residential or commercial property then visit our site - Rental Agreements DIY Australia. We have lots of rental agreements and legal documents available for immediate download. We also have instant online quotes for Landlord investment property insurance. Click here for Landlord's Insurance.

So my main audience for this blog appears to be search engines.

So let's do a little keyword song to search engines. There will probably be nothing of interest to humans beyond this line.

First, my darling search engines, I am waiting for you at my virtual home for your gentle touch.
Here I am. I am Rental Agreements DIY. http://www.rentalagreementsdiy.com.au/

Let me whisper these love chants in your charming bot ears.

Enjoy the long weekend

It's Sunday morning and now in the middle of the long weekend. Too much food at our Australia Day BBQ yesterday.

Rental Agreements DIY is a totally online business so it is open 24 hours a day. There were quite a few visitors on Australia Day. But interestingly we had our biggest day last Thursday. My theory is people were sorting things out on Thursday to add Friday to their long weekend. It is almost mandatory for Aussies to find a reason to turn a 3 day weekend into a 4 day weekend.

We can test this theory around the Easter break to see if it is similar.

Happy Australia Day

It's Australia day. A day for beach, bikinis and a BBQ. I don't look good in a bikini. It must be the beard.

We are celebrating our first week with our new website http://www.rentalagreementsdiy.com.au/

It has been an enormous success. We have had lots of visitors, lots of people taking advantage of our fine offers and lots of fun.

Let's see if we can maintain the momentum.

Google loves me

As you can see by the text under my name on the left hand side the whole purpose of this blog is to improve my ranking in Google. Apparently it has a positive effect with Yahoo as well.

I don't really know if this is true. All I know is my site was catalogued by Google within 3 days and within a week I was exceptionally well placed in various keywords and phrases.

I have owned a web hosting and web design business for over 10 years so I guess I know what I am doing. But I was pleasantly surprised with the quick results.

The Rental Agreements DIY site is performing very well with more and more visitors each day.

I am semi retired so not really chasing a lot of work however if you have something that takes my fancy I am happy to have a look at it.

Residential Tenancy Agreements

Rental Agreements DIY has Residential Tenancy Agreement Kits for all states in Australia. These kits are perfect for the landlord who manage their own properties.

They can be used time and time again and comply with the Residential Tenancies Act in each state.

Go to http://www.rentalagreementsdiy.com.au/ for more details

Commercial Property Lease Agreements

While commercial property can be a financially rewarding investment it can be very different from residential real estate.

Your success is intimately tied with your tenant's success and with 80% of all new businesses failing within the first 2 years, choosing the right tenant is vital.

For the full article go to http://www.rentalagreementsdiy.com.au/commercial-property-contracts.php

Property self management

Most property investors use a real estate agent to manage their investment property. Not everyone has the time or personality to properly screen and select prospective tenants, do the paperwork, organise rent collection and deal with the various challenges that arise.

Some people find owning and managing their investment properties to be a rewarding and interesting experience. They are not afraid because they are aware of a fundamental truth. Most people are good. Most Landlords are fair and honest people who want the best for themselves, their families and their tenants. Most tenants are fair and honest people who welcome an harmonious relationship with their landlord.

The fact is, it is rare for landlords and tenants to have relationships with conflicts. That is probably why these rare negative experiences become emphasised in our minds. There really are not that many bad people out there. They just seem to move around a lot.

Ending a tenancy

Someone once said all good things must come to an end. So sooner or later your tenant will decide to move on and you start the process of finding the right tenant again.

Most tenancies end by your tenant giving you written notice to terminate the lease agreement. You negotiate times for access to show prospective tenants according to the terms of your agreement. You arrange a final inspection date and time, compare the current condition against the agreed condition report signed at the start of the lease and negotiate for payment of repairs due to your tenants occupation.

Creative financing

I have been reading some interesting articles today about Dymphna Boholt, Josh Hunt and Rick Otton.

Dymphna Boholt within just one year she had accumulated a $3.5 million property portfolio, boasting $1.55 million in equity and totally replacing the income she was earning as an accountant working 40 to 60 hours per week.

Josh Hunt purchased Fitzroy Island in 2007 for $100,000,000. He went from zero to building a massive real estate empire in 9 years.

Rick Otton is CEO of We Buy Houses. Rick's success has been achieved through recognising property profits can be maximized when you start to create strategies relating to the terms under which the property is acquired or sold.

They all had very interesting ideas on investing in property. Dymphna focuses on buying real estate with positive cash flow. She claims they are out there. All you have to do is look.

Josh Hunt and Rick Otton have used creative buying and selling techniques to achieve positve cash flows and increased equity. Purchase properties at a discount, get the seller to finance you and then sell it on with vendor finance.

I have no experience with these types of strategies but I found them to be very interesting reading. It has made me assess my current holdings and the way they are financed. It is early days yet as I am still hyped by their motivational style of writing. I am getting out the spreadsheet and having a play with some of these ideas to see if they make sense to me.

Has anyone out there has any experience with the ideas from any of these people? Not just read about it, but actually implemented any of these strategies?

Understand your investments

I like investing in property because I know what a house is. I have lived in houses or units all my life. I know the difference between Mosman and Marrickville .I can easily find out and compare market prices.I understand no more land is being made. My chances of success are far higher if I get involved with something I understand.

It's pretty simple really. Find a house. Get a mortgage. Find a tenant. Collect some rent. Pay some bills. Wait a few years. And just like magic you will find yourself richer than when you started. You might wonder if you could have made a better return by investing in the share market. Regardless, you will be richer both financially and emotionally from the experience. It doesn't even matter if you pay too much for the property. Time will heal that mistake for you.

Finding the right tenant

The tenant who pays 12 months rent in advance, all cash.no paperwork, no questions asked might seem like the ideal tenant but repairing those bullet holes in the walls and ceilings can take a bit of the gloss off the situation.

Private property managers tend to attract prospective tenants who may not want to go through a real estate agent. Sometimes the reasons are innocent enough. This may be the first time this person has ever taken out a lease. They do not have previous references and find it hard to have any success with agents. But sometimes you will attract the very wrong kind of people. They can be hard to spot because they have more experience than you in manipulating your emotions leading you to bad decisions. Beware the hard luck story. Don't be a charity and feel you need to house the world. That's what the Salvos are for.

Killer Doors Death Squadron

We have a section of our flat where there are three doors all within arm's reach of each other. To me they just appeared to be ordinary functional doors. But no. These seemingly inanimate objects soon revealed their sinister personality.

The first instance of any trouble was my first property inspection with some new tenants. One of the doors had a fist sized dent in the main panel about head height. The tenant said the door had rapidly swung shut as he was walking in and he put his hand up to protect himself.

This was a mystery. No one had pushed the door to make is close. It is unlikely the wind caused it. I arranged for the door to be repaired, wished my tenant well and left.

On my next inspection I was horrified to find all three doors had extensive damage. It was obvious what had happened. These doors had formed an unholy alliance and launched a coordinated attack on my unsuspecting tenant. Thankfully he knew how to take care of himself. He beat those doors to within an inch of their lives. I commented how lucky he was the brick walls didn't join in or he could have been seriously injured.

Not wanting to put my tenant at risk I suggested he might want to find somewhere else to live. Eventually he agreed this would be best.

We had an exorcism performed to remove the evil spirits and put in new solid timber doors. I suppose this was risky. If the doors ever joined forces again, being solid core they could cause some real damage. Luckily, so far we have had no further trouble.

Tenancy Application Form

To choose the right tenant for your rental property make sure you get plenty of information and references. Always get applicants to fill out an application form - the more official looking the better.

Here is a link to a great free application form in both pdf and Word formats. You can edit the doc all you like.

Negotiating Residential Tenancy Disputes

Most Private landlords are notoriously bad at negotiating with their tenants. Most disputes are over unpaid rent.

Here is a great article with practical advice on how to keep things calm between landlord and tenants while achieving a favourable outcome.
